Blood 3 times this year {0/3 completed}

Something
I've always wanted to do, but the thought of it fills me with anxiety.
4. Attend
at least 1 meeting of an adult book club! {1/1 completed}
-DID
IT!!!! It went well. I made my
sister go with me and we were most DEFINITELY the youngest ones there by
like
half, lol! We might go to another one as well now. One of the women
who I thought was kind of one of the younger in the bunch said her dad
was 88!!! LOL!!!! I convinced my sister to go with me and they kept
looking over at us when they'd talk about "high school kids" so I think
they thought we were even younger than we are, haha. I didn't speak a
ton, but did say a few words here and there, which was more than I
thought I
would, lol! :)
5. Draw 25
pictures {3/25 completed}

9. Finish
the girls' baby books! {0/2 completed}
For
real!!! I'm embarrassed to even write that!
10. Have
at least 3 pieces of my artwork submitted to the fair {0/3 completed}
Need to get
to work reading over the rules!
11. Workout
25 times. {0/25 completed}
- Because
that seems like a tangible goal and I'm uncertain about how much I care about
being in shape. It changes daily. I think I would like to lose 3.5
pounds, just b/c of the scale. I would like being in great shape, but I
am in decent shape anyway so do I actually want to have to work at it?
Not sure! 25 times is a start!
12. Make
my wedding scrapbook. {0/1 completed}
5.5 years
later, I still have all of the stuff to do it, but have just never done it!
13. Walk
around the lake 15 times. (2.5 miles each time) {2/15 completed}
January- 2
times
14. Try
10 new recipes! {0/10 completed}
-
Super excited about this one! We are so bored of the things we eat.
Being vegetarians (and now Jason doesn't eat soy) limits our options
tremendously! I'm excited to try new recipes b/c I hardly ever do!
15. Go
through and organize at least 5 boxes {0/5 completed}
-
I've gone through like 3 boxes, but I still have things in them that
I'm trying to sell. Once it is completely gone, I will "count" the
boxes, haha. I did make $75 in the last week selling some of the girls'
old clothes and crib set! It's a start! :)
And a list of random things I want
to do as well (to be crossed off as done)...
16. Go
horseback riding (it's been YEARS)
17. Get a
professional massage (have never had one)
18. Go paddle
boating (b/c I say it EVERY summer and the girls are big enough not to jump off
now... hopefully, lol)
19. Go one
week with no computer. (Just b/c...)
20. Take the
girls to visit my dad at the cemetery. (we pass by it all the time, but I have
only gone once in the last 20 years, right before I got pregnant with Venily)
21.
Paint the hallway (3 years in our house and it is still unpainted drywall w/
texture stuff on it- gross!)
22. Repaint
our living room! (I cringe every time I see the huge white patches on our
walls!!!)
23. Take some
kind of an art class
24. Design a
tattoo in honor of my girls (NOTE- I did not say GET a tattoo, lol! That
would go against my "donate blood" resolution. And if I were to
get a tattoo, it would take some serious thought! but maybe someday...)
25. Buy a
lottery ticket (B/C you can't win if you never play...)
26. Create an
Etsy shop.
27. Make a
list of 100 things that make me happy
28. Bring the
girls to the Shedd Aquarium
29. Get
dressed up and go on a date with my husband.

different kinds of drinks I can actually drink 1/3
